Brothers and Sisters,
The day after Jesus’ crucifixion must have been agonizingly difficult for his disciples. Imagine the fear, the emptiness, the loss, the trauma, the anxiety. I suppose it was a quiet time. Perhaps you can relate to what they must have felt. Tonight’s devotional is simply a series of links to five songs you can listen to on YouTube. Let them minister to your heart as you prepare for Resurrection Sunday morning. I look forward to celebrating with you the fact that Jesus Christ is a risen Savior!

(Mark especially this line: “Ye who think of sin but lightly, nor suppose the evil great; here may view its nature rightly, here it’s guilt may estimate.”)
